Finally, we're getting some recognition.

This is what makes me cringe (and that's not that bad):

My feeling is unless you live somewhere where the humidity is 0% and never drive in the rain, the underside of an older Rover is going to show rust. You just have to make sure it doesn’t get too bad. POR 15 and other products help in this. After this Winter my plan is to encapsulate as much rust as I can on the Disco. Just lucky it isn’t too bad at this juncture.
As clean as the Rangie is underneath there still are some rust areas present.

Not really.
In San Diego the humidity is between 30% and 70%, and, unless you live so close to shore that salt fog from the surf is prominent, there's no rust on the underside of any of local vehicles. All of mine have been driven in rain, and on snow/ice on occasional trips to the mountains.
If anything, parking a vehicle near lawn sprinklers is the largest cause of rust.

Is that a D1?

Thinking RRC.

And there is no surface rust on the underside of your Rovers?? Hard to believe. Yet would be a nice situation.

nope.
The only two vehicles that have surface rust are the 68 Wagoneer that's been parked near sprinklers for years, and the Disco that I once - once! - drove over 50 feet of salt marsh. I pressure-washed the crap out of the underside, but even after that it scared the crap out of me.

Must be nice! And a salt marsh is probably less corrosive than what is used on our W. PA. roads.

Nice it is; salt marsh... I don't know. I've driven some of my trucks in seawater maybe up to axle-deep, so the underside got some spraying. No rust resulted from that. That salt mud with dead bugs and shit in it, having remained on the underside for a day, made the underside look like the truck's lived in Chicago for a decade. It was all surface rust, however, after I washed it off.

Wow!! Its a nice Rangie yet not a great one imho. No doubt the values are certainly on the rise!

Yuk! My rust is on the surface as well. No metal degradation. Just don’t like looking at it!
